Menzies Aviation has strengthened its presence in Central Europe through a new partnership with Airport Service Budapest Zrt. (AS Budapest), following regulatory approval from the Hungarian Competition Authority.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, AS Budapest\u2019s ground handling and cargo operations at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (BUD) have been transferred to Menzies Aviation. The deal also sees AS Budapest acquire a minority stake in Menzies Aviation Hungary Kft. and Menzies Aviation Cargo Hungary Kft., aligning its future with the global Menzies network, which spans more than 300 airports in 65 countries.<\/p>\n

Employees from AS Budapest have joined Menzies\u2019 local operations, ensuring continuity and the integration of local knowledge into Menzies\u2019 growing presence in Hungary.<\/p>\n

The combined operation will now handle more than 2,500 flights and over 12,000 tonnes of cargo per month at BUD. Services will cover the full ground handling and logistics spectrum, including passenger handling, baggage services, cargo processing, aircraft cleaning, de-icing, aircraft security and airside transport. The expanded team includes over 1,000 employees based at the airport.<\/p>\n

The partnership marks a major step in Menzies\u2019 growth strategy in the region and builds on recent infrastructure investment at BUD. In 2024, Menzies completed the expansion of its facility in Budapest Airport\u2019s Cargo City, including a 3,000 sqm warehouse extension, a 1,500 sqm truck and GSE manoeuvring area, and 300 sqm of office and staff space.<\/p>\n

Menzies<\/a> says the partnership will enhance service quality, increase operational efficiency and unlock further opportunities to support airline partners at Hungary\u2019s largest airport.<\/p>\n
